Beuseling takes Deery Series ‘Harris Clash’ victory at Knoxville Raceway

by Bob Wilson
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 26) – Nate Beuseling of Silvis, Illinios took the IMCA Late Model portion of the Derry Brothers Harris Clash while Jesse Sobbing of Glenwood, Iowa grabbed the Sportmod Feature in this annual Knoxville Raceway event Tuesday night.

The 35-lap late model affair saw Beuseling lead the entire distance in a non-stop race as he grabbed the point position at the outset from his pole position start. By lap five he had a 10 car-length lead over second place Todd Cooney. Bueseling continued to pour on the coal but Cooney never went away although he was unable to contest for the top spot. The race would soon boil down to a 2-car race with these two drivers

By lap 15 Beuseling had come upon lap traffic but was unable to get by the first back marker. This enabled Cooney to catch the leader but a worn out track saw most all 24 starters hanging around the bottom of Knoxville’s big half-mile oval. Several laps later Beuseling did make the pass and Cooney went right with him.

Soon after that move Beuseling was again impeded by a slower car and after several laps he tried passing on the high side. This move nearly cost him the race as the pass went for naught and Cooney nearly got by him on the bottom. Once he was able to make the pass he saught, he opened up a 10 car-length lead which he soon extended to 15.

In the end, lap traffic proved to be a barrier and it seemed that Beuseling was content to trail the final car in a line of eight to ten cars. This allowed Cooney to once again catch the leader. At the finish Beuseling’s Mach-1 chassis came across the finish line five car lengths ahead of the Cooney machine. The win was his first ever in the Deery Series for him
